!!!1955 VW "OVAL" BEETLE RUST FREE SURVIVOR!!!!

I am selling my 1955 VW Beetle. This is the "Oval" Model, meaning the back window shape is oval and small. The car is in mostly original condition and is totally rust free. I bought the car last year fully intending to keep it for the long haul but simply have neither the room or time to due it justice. To keep such a gem in storage would be wrong in my opinion, so I am offering it to some lucky collector or VW enthusiast. The previous owner had the car for 20 years and while he only put about 500 miles on it during that time, he did buy as many options as he possibly could, which makes it really interesting and unique. I could strip the options and probably get a couple thousand dollars for them alone, but will include them as long as the car meets reserve. The items in the roof rack are not included though.

I do not profess to be an expert but do know a fair amount about these cars and certainly know what these ovals are worth, so please do not try and low ball me. My inspection tells me that the engine, transmission etc., are all original to the car and the previous owner stated the same. I do not, however, swear by it, since I do not know how to check it but can give the interested party all pertinent numbers to trace, if they choose to. I also can not find any significant bondo anywhere, so assume that the body parts are also original to the car. Everything is steel with no fiberglass knock off parts.The floor pans are super solid and no hole at the battery either. Possibly they were replaced but the job was done so professionally that I can not tell. The black paint also appears to be original since I see no over spray anywhere and some fading apparent but shines up like new.

The little bug drives fantastic, like all properly tuned 36 HP motors do. Purrs like a sewing machine and with the brand new battery, it starts first try every time. Still 6 volt system, so unmolested in that regard. All glass is original except possibly the front windshield. The mohair head liner is definitely original and in great shape although a bit dark from age. Interior is all vinyl, which I believe was replaced back in the 60's but is in great shape with no rips or tears and no fading. Transmission shifts easily and brakes all work properly. Tires are like new and are wide white Atlas Radials with plenty of tread remaining. Chrome and stainless are all in very good condition, although the door handles are showing some age.

The interior has a set of rope trays below the steering wheel and above the visors for storage. The motorola radio works fine, as does the heat, blinkers, horn, wipers etc. Rare bug deflector on the hood actually does work! Although I have driven it sparingly, I did have it up to highway speeds with no problems to note. However, due to the age of the car and the fact it has been used very lightly for many many years, I would not advise a long drive to it's new home and would trailer it myself. Naturally the vehicle has no warranty and is sold as is.

Please note that Connecticut is a NON TITLE STATE. What this means is that no amount of pleading, plotting, crying, begging etc., can produce a title. All vehicles over 25 years of age are sold with a CT Bill of Sale and I can get it notarized if necessary. I have sold several vehicles over the years both in the US and over seas, with ZERO Problems, so do not let this scare you. I mention it upfront so there are no issues at the end of the sale. Please check with your local DMV and you will see they have no issues with the situation.

If you have less than 5 feedbacks please contact me prior to bidding or I will cancel your bid. This is serious business and I have no time or patience with games. Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer but I will assist in any way possible. For our international buyers, please have your shipping arrangements in place prior to bidding as I will not hold the car endlessly while you try and get it moved. I can hold the car for a reasonable amount of time with the vehicle paid in full if needed. Payment accepted will be certified/bank check or wire transfer. (Pay Pal is okay for deposit).

I have poor mind reading skills, so please ask questions and I will do my best to answer. I can also try and take additional pictures if you need but the vehicle is inside, so might be tight. Best of luck with this true gem. If you have been looking at them, you know what they go for. I would suspect that many of you have never seen one this old, so take a good look at the differences to the more modern ones and bid to win. My reserve is very fair as I am not looking to get rich, just trying to recover my investment, which will most likely leave you with a great price. Thanks for viewing my ad.

VW Golf Sportsvan succeeds Golf Plus in Frankfurt

Sun, 08 Sep 2013

Just ahead of this week's Frankfurt Motor Show, Volkswagen has announced the world premiere of its Golf Sportsvan, a near-production concept that succeeds its Golf Plus. VW describes this compact family car as "one of the most versatile vehicles of the compact class," noting that it offers a mix of hatchback and minivan features in a sporty package.
That sportiness comes from the Sportsvan's styling (perhaps more sleek wagon than minivan) and performance features it shares with the Golf GTI - including the XDS+ electronic differential lock, which is integrated into the Electronic Stability Control system to improve agility. At the same time, the Sportsvan's six engine options, which include a turbodiesel, are up to 19-percent more fuel-efficient than their predecessors.

Volkswagen Golf Variant Concept R-Line puts the sport in SportWagen

Wed, 06 Mar 2013

With the introduction of the newest Volkswagen Golf Variant, we get an early look at what will most likely be the next-generation Jetta SportWagen here in the US. To further wet our appetities, VW is now teasing something a little sportier with the Concept R-Line. Looking the part of a GTI wagon (or a stretched Golf R), the Golf Variant Concept R-Line has a production-ready appearance that has us hoping we'll see this sporty wagon sooner rather than later.
The R-Line starts off with a new fascia that isn't quite as aggressive as the recently introduced GTI, but it gives the new styling some extra punch. Below the fascia is a lower splitter that visually carries back into the rocker panel extensions, and the rear of the car gets some bright exhaust tips and a rear diffuser. The Lapis Blue Metallic paint job probably does enough on its own to add a sporty flair to the Golf wagon, and it's all finished off with 18-inch split-spoke wheels. Inside, the Concept R-Line shows off sport seats wrapped in carbon leather featuring blue nappa inserts in the middle.
Rightfully so, VW brought the Concept R-Line to Geneva with its TDI and 4Motion all-wheel-drive system. A sporty, all-wheel-drive diesel wagon? Yes, please. Scroll down for the full press blast with all the details.

Volkswagen adding R-Line trim to Touareg, Tiguan for 2014

Fri, 11 Jan 2013

Volkswagen introduced its aggressive R-Line appearance package on the CC and Beetle last year, but later this year, this treatment will also be applied to VW's crossovers, the Tiguan and Touareg. Both sporty-looking utility vehicles will be unveiled next week at the Detroit Auto Show.
The 2014 Tiguan R-Line comes standard with bi-xenon headlights and LED daytime running lights, and the package adds 19-inch wheels, grey fender extensions, body-color side skirts and a liftgate spoiler. Inside, the R-Line adds a flat-bottom sport steering wheel with paddle shifters, a black headliner and numerous metallic trim accents such as the stainless scuff plates, the aluminum pedals and metallic finish on the instrument and door panels. The Tiguan R-Line will be offered in front- and all-wheel drive configurations.
As for the 2014 Touareg R-Line (shown above), this model gets an ever more distinctive look with an aggressive front fascia, 20-inch wheels and dual oval-shaped exhaust outlets in addition to the painted side skirts and LED taillights. Similar metallic interior trim pieces found inside the Tiguan R-Line will also make their way into the Touareg as well as gloss black accents on the instrument panel and center stack.
